fathers; to  encourage  historical  research  in  relation  to  the  American

but  later  became  Captain  of  the  "Job  Scouting  Party"  and 
active  in  the  cause  of  liberty,  and  is  said  to  have  given  such

Hutchins,  are  you  the  bearer  of  any  message?"  "Yes,"  replied 
the  Colonel;  "Gen.  Burgoyne  with  his  army  is  on  his  march  to 
Albany.  Gen.  Stark  has  offered  to  take  the  command  of  the 
New  Hampshire  men,  and  if  we  will  turn  out  we  can  cut  off 
Burgoyne's  march."  Then  the  minister  said :  "My  hearers, 
those  of  you  who  are  willing  to  go  better  leave  at  once."  Every 
man  left  the  meeting  house.  The  result  at  Bennington  is  well

JOSEPH  CROCKETT  served  as  a  Captain  in  the  Seventh 
Regiment  of  Foot,  Col.  Alexander  McClenahan,  also  known 
as  Third  and  Seventh  Virginia  Regiment,  commanded  by 
Lieut.  Col.  Keith  in  the  Revolutionary  War,  having  been  com- 
missioned May  7,  1776;  was  commissioned  May  7,  1776, 
Major  of  the  Fifth,  and  Eleventh  Regiment  Virginia  Foot, 
Colonel  William  Russell.  Besides  other  services  he  raised 
two  companies  for  General  Daniel  Morgan's  Rifle  Regiment. 
He  was  in  the  battles  of  Point  Pleasant,  White  Plains,  Mon- 
mouth, Brandywine,  Princeton  and  Trenton,  and  suffered 
with  the  army  at  Valley  Forge,  and  was  at  the  surrender  of 
Burgoyne  at  Saratoga.  After  the  battle  of  Monmouth  he  be- 
came Lieutenant  Colonel.  In  August.  1779,  with  the  rank  of 
Lieutenant  Colonel,  he  joined  General  George  Rogers  Clarke, 
and  in  that  year  led  the  Illinois  or  Crockett  Regiment  in  the 
celebrated  campaigns  in  the  Northwest,  conducted  by  that  Gen- 
eral, remaining  beyond  the  mountains  until  January,  1782. 
In  a  letter  written  in  1818  to  Henry  Clay,  he  says,  "I  was 
in  many  of  the  battles  and  skirmishes  with  the  Northwestern 
Indians  on  the  Miami  and  helped  destroy  Chillicothe,  and  many 
other  Indian  towns  in  the  Northwestern  territories.  *  *  * 
I  served  under  General  Morgan  in  his  many  battles  and  skir- 
mishes with  the  British  near  Philadelphia,  and  in  New  Jersey 
and  New  York.  At  Red  Bank  two  horses  were  shot  under  me 
by  the  enemy's  sharpshooters  concealed  in  the  river  thickets. 
I  believe  I  was  engaged  in  as  many  battles  and  skirmishes 
as  any  officer  or  private  who  served  under  Generals  Wash- 
ington, Greene.  Morgan,  Clarke  and  others.  I  was  often  in 
as  many  as  four  or  five  in  a  week." 

In  civil  life  in  Kentucky's  early  history,  he  was  even  more 
efficient  and  conspicuous  than  in  the  Army  of  the  Revolu- 
tion. He  was  a  member  of  Kentucky's  first  Constitutional 
Convention :  was  United  States  Marshal  for  the  District  of 


110 

Kentucky  during  Jefferson's  two  terms  in  the  Presidency,  and 
was  the  first  officer  to  arrest  Aaron  Burr.
